VIDEO: David De Gea robs Philippe Coutinho with last-gasp save on goal line
Reuters
David De Gea has kept Manchester United in many a match this season, and he was at it again Thursday in the Europa League.
De Gea stretched out to deny wide-open Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho in the first half of the round-of-16 tie, an act of desperation United supporters have come to expect from their brilliant Spanish shot-stopper.
Coutinho could've used his left foot instead of swiping at the ball with his right, but nonetheless, De Gea's effort is worthy of praise.
And he wasn't even finished. Just before the interval, the 25-year-old goalkeeper reacted quickly to Adam Lallana's point-blank attempt to keep the deficit at 1-0.
